Under Zap's tearful eyes, Almark's additional balls of wind keep coming back and chasing him.

After reviewing the conversation with Almark, who finally noticed how Zap was doing, it seemed that a girl named Michelle was more interested in Zap and usually heard from Fita, who was close to him.

And Fita seemed to have a boy she liked, and Michelle gave him some information.

"There was nothing else Fita liked."

Zap dropped his shoulders slightly.

"Fita likes someone else."

"Yeah."

Almark nodded in consolation.

"Thank you. Looks like it."

Hah, Zap sighs.

I didn't want to know.

You said you wanted to know.

I just wanted to know.

Zap says.

"But now I don't want to know."

It's hard.

Almark put his arms together.

"Oh, it's hard."

Zap fell down.

"The one from Fita looks so happy."

That's what Almark said. He looked at Fita again.

Indeed, both Fita and Michelle were blushing their cheeks in the cold in the winter, but they still looked happy with their shoulders together.

"It sounds fun, but I'm sure it's because I'm talking to a good friend."

"When you're talking to me, it's not going to be so much fun."

Zap nods more and more when he says so.

"Fita, I wonder who you like."

Can I ask you a few more questions?

When Almark tried to make another ball of wind, Zap shook his head in a hurry.

No, that's enough.

I'm sure you can hear me.

"I know that. I don't doubt Almark's magic."

That's what Zap said, breaking the wind ball in Almark's hand.

"But I don't want to hear it anymore."

"You might know who Fita likes."

"Even if I knew."

Zap says powerlessly.

"That's not what happens. If I knew him, I wouldn't know what he'd look like tomorrow."

"Is that what it is?"

Almark nodded and wiped out the sphere of wind.

Then, looking at Zap's completely depressed face, he drops his shoulders too.

"Zap, I'm sorry. I was just telling you to follow Fita."

"No, it's not Almark's fault."

Zap shook his head.

"I said I wanted to know."

That said, I look at Pheta and Michelle, who are still having fun talking.

"In time, I'm sure you'll be glad to know that Fita doesn't like me. I still don't think so."

"Zap, I don't think Fita really likes you."

Almark said.

"If I look at you two, I can tell. Pheta likes you."

"I don't need that kind of comfort, Almark."

Zap frowned.

"In fact, you heard the two of us."

"Yeah."

Almark nodded.

"Indeed, it seems that you feel a little different from Fita."

But Almark continued.

"Fita likes you."

It wasn't a consolation, it was Almark's conviction.

Zap and Fita ran to the dorm looking for Radmar on the morning of the Magic Festival.

The two danced tightly, signaling with their eyes to cover Radmar's clumsy movements.

Almark has been watching the two of them from the Night Forest.

Fita likes Zap.

It may be slightly different from the feeling that so-called girls like boys.

That's why Almark knows that the words alone won't be passed on to Zap.

But...

"Sorry, I don't know what else to say about that."

Almark bit his lips.

Zap shook his head silently.

Lots of emotions in me.

One of them definitely fits Fita's feelings about Zap.

And even though it doesn't make sense to just say, "I like you."

Almark felt frustrated that he couldn't express it well.

Until now, I have never felt the need to express emotions in the best way.

Whether on the battlefield in the north or on a journey, those feelings were quite naturally with Almark.

But I never thought I'd turn it into a word and tell someone.

If I had been north, I would have stayed there forever.

But now Almark wanted to convey his feelings for Fita's Zap in words that Zap could understand.

"Fita cares about you."

Almark said.

That's not it.

It's close, but it's not enough.

With that in mind.

I still don't know anything.

I don't even know the words that express my feelings.

Zap smiled bitterly after showing a slightly surprised look on Almark's face.

Thank you, Almark.

Zap said.

"I don't know what you're trying to say either. But I know you're trying to empower me."

Almark and Zap returned to their original beast path, taking care not to make any noise.

After walking through the bushes and onto the hill, Zap finally said in a normal voice.

"This must be the only secret place for two winters."

Say that and smile at Almark.

"I can't get so close in summer. I'm sure I found it last winter. Before Fita and I were in the same class."

Zap's face still seemed a little lonely.

"I still don't know anything about Fita."

That's right.

Almark nodded.

Blank time you don't know.

The wall was well understood by Almark.

"But there's still plenty of time left. And maybe you'll like Michelle too."

When Almark joked, Zap stopped suddenly.

Michelle.

Mumble like that.

Yes, it's Michelle.

"What's wrong, Zap?"

Almark looked back with a strange feeling.

Is something wrong with Michelle? She seemed interested in you. "

"Yes, that's it."

Zap looked desperate.

"Why would Michelle want to know about me?"

Huh?

"She and I have barely spoken. Do you like me, or is there another reason?"

"I don't know about that."

Almark twisted his neck.

"I was shocked that Fita had someone else she liked."

That's what Zap said and held his head.

"I couldn't think of any reason why Michelle wanted to listen to me. Yeah, I do. I should have listened carefully."

"Zap"

Almark taps Zap on the shoulder.

"You just got it. I can't even eavesdrop on a girl's story."

"I care, Almark."

Zap grabbed Almark's arm.

"Can you use the voice hunting technique again? I want to see why Michelle wants to know about me."

"No, I'd rather not."

Almark shakes his head.

"Almark"

Zap approached Almark with tearful eyes.

"Please."

"I mean, look, I've already come back here."

Almark said.

"Plus, it's getting dark."

It's still bright.

Zap won't give up.

"Just once more. Almark, please."

Almark shakes his head.

"I'm sure they'll both be back. They'll find us."

"It's not too late. From now on."

Zap's eyes are serious.

This is no good.

Almark understands.

Zap is serious.

Then we'll have to use the skills we've developed on the battlefield.

Almark suddenly bent his body and pressed his stomach.

"Ah, leave me alone. I suddenly have a stomach ache. We have to go home soon."

"Almark!

"This can't be helped. This can't be helped, Zap. Let's go home. Leave."

Almark hurried to the school building, forcing Zap to hold his shoulders.
